Chapter 2463: I Don’t Think You’re Sincere
It’s quite a coincidence.Bubble Bean sat face-to-face at the same table with Xu Huo and the Girl in the painting, his complexion looking grim, making the "Visited Here" scar on his forehead stand out even more. Several players had deliberately turned their heads to look at his forehead.
Even if he couldn’t cut off the skin, he could have used a disguise prop or worn a mask to solve this awkwardness. The reason he didn’t do so was just to remind himself not to forget yesterday’s shame and to remind himself to definitely avenge this feud the next time he encounters Xu Huo...
But he never expected, it was such a coincidence that just after leaving the instance, they immediately met again on the train.
The time was too short, not fitting the gentleman’s revenge is never too late mentality. Therefore, after being stopped by the Girl in the painting, he could only sit down with a forced smile on his face, grateful that Xu Huo spared him.
Xu Huo glanced at him with a half-smile, without saying anything, but the Girl in the painting was very pleased, she stated that the words on his forehead were her doing, he should be thankful to her.
"Well, I really thank you for that." Bubble Bean said through gritted teeth.
The Girl in the painting looked at him, then typed: "I think you’re a bit insincere."
Bubble Bean almost ground his teeth into dust, to show "sincerity," he proposed to treat them both to a meal.
So the three of them sat down together to eat.
During the meal, the Girl in the painting suggested she wanted to play with the Seal Fruit again, Bubble Bean, although keen to egg her on to stir up trouble, glanced at Xu Huo beside him and swallowed his words.
"If you’re really bored, you could just cover some bread slices and play." Xu Huo said: "Don’t go causing trouble for others."
Grudgingly agreeing, the Girl in the painting didn’t make any more demands.
Xu Huo and Bubble Bean engaged in casual conversation, both were delayed by the Hidden Friend instance, so after leaving they had to head straight to the next instance, whether they’d take a break before another instance would be decided when they reached the next instance section.
Since Xu Huo collected the Instance Authorization Document after clearing it, Bubble Bean didn’t know the instance was considered gone, he sincerely asked how he managed to clear it.
"That instance ends as soon as one person clears it." Xu Huo briefly mentioned the actual requirement of the instance.
After hearing this, Bubble Bean thought it was unbelievable, "Is this really the method to clear it?"
"Didn’t you come out anyway?" Xu Huo said casually: "Because I cleared it."
Bubble Bean couldn’t refute, otherwise, he couldn’t explain why he woke up in the tree hole, Xu Huo tricked him out yet didn’t kill him—this was the best evidence.
Bubble Bean mused, "If all instances were like this one, players wouldn’t have to fight so fiercely."
Xu Huo didn’t respond, and at this moment, a broadcast sounded on the train:
"Attention passengers, this train is expected to pass through an Energy Explosion Space in five minutes for half a minute, the energy surge will produce an extremely strong light, please take care to protect your eyes."
"Another Energy Explosion Space," a player complained, "I’ve been on this train for two days and experienced it three times, is this track really safe or not? If it isn’t safe, might as well not allow the train to pass through!"
However, the train crew couldn’t hear their complaints, even if they did, they acted as if they didn’t, so the players sequentially donned light-blocking instruments as the train entered a highly illuminated area.
The light-blocking instruments could record brightness values, many people couldn’t perceive the change of light outside but could see the numbers increase.
"Whoa!" Bubble Bean exclaimed, "Seeing this directly with eyes would surely blind them!"
When the track space returned to normal, Xu Huo asked others what this energy explosion was.
"Probably a special energy contained in Chaotic Space." The others weren’t too knowledgeable either, "Cold air meeting hot air can create thunderstorms, this is likely similar. After all, the track itself is supposed to pass through some unstable spaces."
There was a lot of speculation and discussion but no one could provide any real information, and besides near the track, it was hard to witness such energy explosions elsewhere.
Someone did use a communicator to record, but could only see a flash of white light suddenly appear, then the communicator was ruined, even if the whole process was captured, under a white light, nothing useful could be seen.
Xu Huo stared at the scenery outside the train window, this was slightly different from the previous view where the track split two distinct skies. On the same side of the track, scenes resembling spatial splicing occasionally appeared, such as a patch of blue sky with a patch of sunset, sometimes with a rain belt, looking as if multiple spaces were simultaneously joined into one picture.
"Don’t know if once on Rank-A will situations with multiple spaces evidently stacked together occur." Bubble Bean said: "The higher the level, the more dangerous the areas passed by trains, earlier ones barely managed to be seen as ordinary spaces, here now, do not dare to approach nor enter."
"If it were you here, would you dare to go down?" He turned to ask Xu Huo.
"Definitely wouldn’t dare." Xu Huo smiled faintly.
Bubble Bean seemingly felt a bit relieved, still took a potion to completely heal the wound on his forehead.
The Girl in the painting had already lost interest in him, as she discovered a player dressed as a little girl in the rear carriage.
Most accepted by the Dimensional Rift are adults, and it’s also rare to see people as young as seventeen or eighteen becoming players, dressing as children doesn’t mean they’re actually kids, given advanced technology, not only wearing a disguise mask, even seamless cosmetic surgery can be done.
The likely possibility was a woman naturally short due to disease, slightly different from dwarfism patients, her body was very proportionate, truly resembling a child.
Probably frequently facing others’ strange gazes, the woman impatiently responded to the Girl in the painting’s two remarks and then drove her away.
However, the Girl in the painting sometimes wasn’t so perceptive, she not only didn’t leave but sat down in the other’s carriage, staring directly at her.
No one could stand this; the female player slammed the table and stood up, "What exactly do you want!"
The Girl in the painting poked her fingers on the communicator and then asked: "Why do you look like this, do people where you’re from all look like this?"
The female player coldly looked at her, "So what if we do? What if we don’t?"
"Then you’re lucky, can look like children for life." The Girl in the painting said: "Being a child is great."
The female player couldn’t tell if she was truly being silly or pretending, sneered and replied, "If it’s so great, why don’t you go be one, chop off some bones, you can do it too."
The Girl in the painting looked at her own legs, felt the difficulty was a bit high, "Any other ways?"
"Are you mentally challenged or something?" the female player sincerely asked.
